These changes add initial support for the construction of remote components. For now, this support is limited to the NodeJS SDK; follow-up changes will implement support for the other SDKs. Remote components are component resources that are constructed and managed by plugins rather than by Pulumi programs. In this sense, they are a bit like cloud resources, and are supported by the same distribution and plugin loading mechanisms and described by the same schema system. The construction of a remote component is initiated by a `RegisterResourceRequest` with the new `remote` field set to `true`. When the resource monitor receives such a request, it loads the plugin that implements the component resource and calls the `Construct` method added to the resource provider interface as part of these changes. This method accepts the information necessary to construct the component and its children: the component's name, type, resource options, inputs, and input dependencies. It is responsible for dispatching to the appropriate component factory to create the component, then returning its URN, resolved output properties, and output property dependencies. The dependency information is necessary to support features such as delete-before-replace, which rely on precise dependency information for custom resources. These changes also add initial support for more conveniently implementing resource providers in NodeJS. The interface used to implement such a provider is similar to the dynamic provider interface (and may be unified with that interface in the future). An example of a NodeJS program constructing a remote component resource also implemented in NodeJS can be found in `tests/construct_component/nodejs`. This is the core of #2430. |

Pulumi Node.js SDK
The Pulumi Node.js SDK lets you write cloud programs in JavaScript.
Installation
Using npm:
$ npm install --save @pulumi/pulumi
Using yarn:
$ yarn add @pulumi/pulumi
This SDK is meant for use with the Pulumi CLI. Please visit pulumi.com for installation instructions.
Building and Testing
For anybody who wants to build from source, here is how you do it.
Prerequisites
This SDK uses Node.js and we support the Active LTS and Current releases, as defined by this table. We support both NPM and Yarn for package management.
At the moment, we only support building on macOS and Linux, where standard GNU tools like make are available.
Make Targets
The first time you build, run make ensure to install and prepare native plugins for V8:
$ make ensure
This is only necessary if you intend to produce a build that is capable of running older versions of the SDK
contained in this directory. If you do intend to do this, you must have node 6.10.2 installed.
To build the SDK, simply run make from the root directory (where this README lives, at sdk/nodejs/ from the repo's
root). This will build the code, run tests, and install the package and its supporting artifacts.
At the moment, for local development, we install everything into /opt/pulumi. You will want this on your $PATH.
The tests will verify that everything works, but feel free to try running pulumi preview and/or pulumi up from
the examples/minimal/ directory. Remember to run tsc first, since pulumi expects JavaScript, not TypeScript.
